Indeed, he is a hugely imperfect person. My only hope is that he pushes for immigration relief for the sake of OUR COMMUNITY. But, if we follow your implied line of reasoning, maybe we should all refuse to work with him and wait 4 to 8 years (very possible he can win re-election) with you until America elects a more likable or leftist candidate THEN and ONLY THEN can we work together on immigration. Viewing politics from a GLOBAL or UNIVERSAL/ALL-OR-NOTHING perspective will not help you, your family, and our families.
Whether you like it or not, we (and our "representatives") have to come to the negotiating table with him if we want a chance at relief. HE IS DEMONSTRATING A WILLINGNESS TO DO SO. Telling him to f**k off and telling him we will never work with him because he is a misogynist, racist, and conservative asshole is suicide. That is the reality. But, we can always be idealistic and just wait in the shadows 4 to 8 years. :- ) -____-

I don't disagree with your logic. I just hate the thought of this man leading this country. It really goes to show you how idiotic rural America is. Anyways, my hope is that he leaves DACA alone. I do not expect a pathway to citizenship to come from Republicans. By the way, congress has more a say in our legalization than he does. I just hope they realize they need to secure the latino vote now that they are becoming a dying party. 2018 and 2020 elections in mind they should act soon.
